Erins Hope for Friends Essentials

Our super star employees, Isabella and Bryn, who attend Kennesaw State University and represented Erin’s Hope for Friends at the KSU Fall Government & Nonprofit Fair! They met KSU students who are interested in volunteering, internships, and careers supporting individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It was exciting to share what we do at e’s Club and talk with students who are passionate about making a difference through community, friendship, inclusion, and meaningful social connections. We’re always looking for people who believe that everyone deserves to have a friend, to be welcomed, included, known, and to have someone who is happy to see them. A big THANK YOU to Bryn and Isabella for giving their time to represent Erin’s Hope and helping us build the next generation of compassionate volunteers and professionals! #ErinsHopeForFriends #eClub #KennesawStateUniversity #KSU #AutismAwareness #ASD #Nonprofit #Volunteer #Community #Inclusion #FriendshipMatters

Pumpkin Weekend is going to be super fun! We have pumpkin-themed fun planned all weekend, with opportunities to hang out with friends, get creative, and make some great memories. FRIDAY — Teens | e’s Club Our teens will spend the evening hanging out with friends and decorating mini pumpkins at our art station. SATURDAY — Pumpkin Patch Outing | All Ages & Families Welcome We’re heading to Berry Patch Farms on Saturday, October 17, from 3–6 p.m. Meet us at the farm at 3 p.m. Admission to the farm is FREE Your e’s Club event is FREE A few e’s Club employees will be there to help members connect and enjoy the afternoon Bring your phone/camera! This is a great opportunity to get pictures with your friends. Pumpkins are $0.50 per pound if you choose to purchase one. You’ll need to be able to carry your pumpkin. You may also want to check out the corn maze and other activities, so bring some cash. We decided to keep the outing free and let families choose how they want to spend their money once they’re there. That way, you have the freedom to pick your own pumpkin poundage and enjoy the activities that interest you without being limited by our event budget. SATURDAY EVENING following the Patch — Woodstock Meet-Up After the pumpkin patch, we’ll have a Meet-Up at a Woodstock restaurant. Meet-Ups are not managed by Erin’s Hope for Friends, but the restaurant we’re considering may have something special planned for our group. More details coming soon!
